ifEDFOTlD MATT, TlTTnTTNF. MFDFOTin. OT?FOOT, FTUlAY. MAY 10. 1018 PAOTC THREE GERMAN PEACE OFFER SPURNED BY AMERICAN Hertllng's Confidant Visits Professor Heron, Friend of Wilson, at Berne, and Makes Proposals Told Blunt ly That America Intends to Clean Out Augean Stables at Potsdam. LONDON, May 10. A Btory ot how an attempted German peace of fensive directed toward President WlUon was turned down lgnonilnl OUBly by Professor Heron, an Ameri can living In Geneva, is told by the Swiss correspondent of the Dally Mall in bis dispatch dated at Annemasse, on the Franco-Swiss frontier. Pro- lessor Heron Is described as a friend of President Wilson. ' The German government, accord ing to the correspondent, tried to get poace offers sent to the president thru Professor Heron who was visit ed on April 19 by Professor Quidde of Slunlch, a friend of Count Von Hert- ltng, the imperial German chancellor. Jrofessor Qulddo was accompanied !by the Dutch pacifist, Dr. Jong Van (lieok. A Merciful Peace. Professor Quidde said he had come to prepare the way for a merciful peace and gave Professor Heron to understand that he spoke for Chan cellor Von Hertllng and the German foreign office. He assured the Amer ican professor that the peace party In the relchstag was about to gain predomlnence In Germany and that he wished to prepare President Wil son to take advantage of that aus picious moment. , Germany, said Professor Quidde waB willing to make the following terms: , First, to grant autonomy to Alsace Lorraine within the limits of the Ger man empire, provided the allies iwould not broach the subject of Al sace-Lorraine at the peace conference. Second, the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty not to be discussed at the peace conference, altho the allleB .might submit claims for the revision of them and Germans might make certain concessions. Third, no economic war against .Germany after the war. Fourth, German colonies to be re stored. Professor Quidde asserted that the present offensive In France had the ultimate object of achieving a dur able peace. Heron's Stern ltebiikc. Professor Heron, the Dally Mall correspondent writes, after listening to the German educator, explained. "I wonder that you have the ef frontery to ask me to lay such a rig marole of cant and deceit before the American people. Far from creat ing o spirit ot conciliation it will slm- ply strengthen the American will to smash the perfidious and nefarious author of such proposals. "The United States intends to con tinue fighting until Prussian military power, and, if necessary, the Prus 0ln Binte alone with it. Is cxtln guiBhed forever as a power for evil, whether it takes one year or ten. "It you call the remorseless sacri fice of two million men a peace of fensive and If you want the United States to recognize your shelling of Parisian congregations and churches a9 a part of It, you aie making a monstrous and foolish blunder. Ashamed of Humanity. "When I listen to your false and treacherous overtures, I feel ashamed ot humanity. Professor Quidde, adds the corres pondent, left the house weeping. The next week Professor Heron was ue selged by offers by telephone, one of the speakers saying he was Dr. W. S. X.olf, German cofbnlal minister. Pro fessor Heron talked straight to all of them, telling them among other things that the 'United States does ( not want peace. It wants to sweep out the Augean stables at Potsdam." Professor Heron, the dispatch adds, told the story to the correspondent and laughed triumphantly. He said he believed the Germans were at last convinced that the United Slates In tends to stay In the war until righteous objects are achieved. Its LONDON, May 10. Londoners will have another opportunity of welcom ing representatives of the Vnlted States army, the Times says It under stands. A detachment of American troops will march thru tho streets and parade before King George at Buckingham palace. TORNADO KILLS 20. INJURES 200 01.

(By the As sociated Press.) The Germans had intended to make a mil:!: more pre tentious assault in Flanders this week week than they were actually ablo to carry out, it has been learned. Their failure was duo to tho excel lent work ot tho allied gunners and to a small coincident operation of the French east of Scherpenberg which came at tho right moment to holp upset the enemy plans In this Bcctor. V The German attack, as actually executed, lay, roughly, between Ln Clyette and Vcrniezeole and It was nuido principally by the r!!ml Gorman reserve division fresh troops which had not been used since tho May of fensive began assisted by the f0lli regulars. To Use- Five Divisions. From prisoners It was Indicated that the Germans originally had In tended to attack with five divisions, and it is quite pofiblo that this drive was meant to be the forerunner of a grand smash to push up west of Ypres and thereby threaten tho Brit ish hold on the ruined city. The Ger mans preceded their advance by t terrific nil-night bombardment against both the French and British over a wide front. At 9.30 o'clock Wednesday the Infantry drive was started by tho r.2nd reserve, which was sent against the British in Hldge wood and the neighboring territory, and by tho Stilli division, which at tacked the lli-iti-h on 'ho-right and the French on tho lert. Before tho battlo started In car nest, however, several things had happened which were to have a vital bearing on tho day's program. Along the Ypros-Comliios canal an unusual movement among the enemy had brought down a troniondous barrage from the British guns against a Gor man division on the right ot the 62nd reserves. French Also Take n Hand. Nothing further happened along this sector, but It appeared later that the enemy had been assembling there to participate in the attack and bad bean so badly smashed that the idea Ls9fc!

Also tho French had undertaken a small operation in tho early morning for the capture of a posit on oast of Scher penberg hill. Tho combination of the French attack and the bombardment, undoubtedly upset tho German plans, for additional German divisions, which were assembling to assist their comrades on the right, could not bo brought in.
